This week Nathan R. Jaising joins us on the Consultant and the Millenial. Nathan is President and CEO of Benchmark Psychiatric Services which provides outpatient psychiatric services, counseling, and  psychiatric testing. 

This weeks episode we adress pain points for a small business owner. 

The first being "why do things move so slowly for the owner." Haydn addresses this by encouraging business owners to remember that to the employee that movement is occurring much faster than it is to the CEO. By eliminating leadership perspective vs employee perspective and identifying obvious weak links, one can then begin to identify and release bottlenecks in the system.

We also address the Pain point of unfollowed processes that eat up time and tactics to weed out employees who refuse to follow processes as well as to redirect the employee back to the process and system so the CEO is not solving and becoming the owner of the solution.

Seth has had two difficult onboarding experiences, one where Seth was on his own for nearly three weeks due to the death of his manager's father. In another new position, Seth found himself in a meeting on the first hour of the first day, asking to make decisions on projects he hadn't been introduced to. With the lowest unemployment rate in nearly two decades, if you don't onboard a team member well...someone else is probably going to snatch them up. In this episode, Haydn and Seth look at how Seth is onboarding a new employee...and apply some hard fought wisdom Haydn has earned through working with hundreds of companies.

In this episode we explore the relationship between what it takes to get a project off the ground and why so many projects fail before completion.  We walk through the reasons why project management is under utilized by non-project-managers even though it is desperately needed in the smaller details of the day to day.  

Plus, the four reasons why ideas fail to be implemented, even when they are the brilliant idea that could save the company. Finally, we discuss entrepreneurship vs “intra-preunership” and how to recognize these work styles and how and where these styles function best as well as the importance of writing plays for the players you actually have on your team.

Last week, Seth called Haydn he was quitting the podcast and shutting down his company. Oh, and Digital Profit Farm, the company Seth started, had just closed out their second best month ever. But, exhausted and frustrated, Seth listened only to his emotions and was ready to quit (a couple of months later, he was fine). On the other end of the extreme, companies like Blockbuster and Borders were so analytical that the leadership saw the hurricane in the distance that would eventually sink the ship, but ran the numbers and became convinced the storm wasn't as big as it was. It was a false belief they held to even as these two massive companies were being torn apart by the waves.

Rather than try to give you a list on how to achieve "perfect balance," this is an episode about learning where you are on the scale, and what to do to compensate for your blind spots.

When conflict arises at work, you will deal with four types:

 

--Sturdy Battler

--Avoider

--Acommodater

--Collaborator

 

Whenever there is friction, you must first identify what kind of person you're dealing with before you proceed.

 

Plus, we dive deep into practicalities, including what kind of person to never back down from...what to never do over email unless you're ready to quit that day...and the moment when you must walk away and regroup before you do permanent damage to your career.

We are currently experiencing the best economy of the post 9/11 era, which means that companies small and large are often hyper aggressive, trying to increase sales and grow staff as quickly as possible. However, companies that go gangbusters in the best of times often run out of money really quickly in the worst of times, and regret spending money on lavish office accomodations and vanity projects, and growing their teams faster than the organization can handle. 

Adam Kail*, a Millennial who built two busineses from the ground up, steps into the co-host seat to discuss "good grow slow," the idea that  teams and companies that put strategy behind how fast to grow are the ones who win in the long run.*Haydn is traveling and will be back next week. For more on Adam, check out his companies Harrison Gray Search and Brothers Leather Supply Company.Join The Consultant and the Millennial Facebook Group and grow alongside other leaders as we dive deeper into topics covered on the podcast!

It's easy to sit at work and think "this would be so much easier without the office politics." It would be. That job doesn't exist. If you make money in any way, you're going to deal with workplace politics...corporate, family business or nonprofit. The bad news is, there's no "one size fits all" approach to cutting through the clutter of workplace politics.The good news is you don't have to see your career (or your company) stall out due to internal politics. In this episode, Haydn breaks down wisdom on getting the workplace machine moving again gleaned from working with over 30,000 managers. Join The Consultant and the Millennial Facebook Group and grow alongside other leaders as we dive deeper into topics covered on the podcast!

If you've ever felt uncomfortable in a room full of strangers...this is the episode about why you need to walk across the room, and how to connect with people you've never met before without being weird. 

Haydn finds random networking to be stressful because he's more comfortable when he has a role (speaker, consultant, etc.) If Tim Ferriss is right, and "your network is your net worth," then Seth's net worth is in the billions. He may be in the first year of managing a new company, but the people he can shoot a text to and get a response, from managers of platium artists to entrepenuers and multi-generational business owners with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets...the advice and rescources he has access to go much further than his current income shows. Much of that network was built off of "random" converesations. This episode is all about how to help those spontaneous conversations happen...because some of them will be life changing. Join The Consultant and the Millennial Facebook Group and grow alongside other leaders as we dive deeper into topics covered on the podcast!

In this episode, we recap how Seth was close to hitting the wall after working nearly three months without a day off...and how to carve out time to recharge in work era of the iPhone. In this episode you'll learn: 

--how when you were born colors the way you see when "working hours" are. 

--what happened when the Soviets forced people to work seven day per week (more or less productivity)?--basically, how to thrive in your career and not die, become an addict or get divorced because of it.
